It is frustrating and heartbreaking to be denied disability benefits, especially when you have a genuine disability. But what if we told you that we could overturn the same claim from denial to approval with a proper legal strategy? All you need to do is contact a disability benefits attorney from Morgan & Morgan.
Unfortunately, many eligible candidates lose out on their disability benefits when they receive a denial letter from the government or their insurer. This is because they usually believe that it's the end of the road for them. If you or your loved one has been denied disability benefits by an insurance company or a government agency, we're here to tell you that all hope is not lost.
Denied Long Term Disability Insurance Benefits
It's heartbreaking to discover that your insurance company won't be paying what you're entitled to, even though you're an eligible candidate. Although this may surprise you, it is not surprising to us. We know that insurance companies don't care about you as much as they seem to.
They'll always grab that opportunity to save money and avoid paying you what they owe. When that happens, it won't matter if you're eligible for disability benefits.
At Morgan & Morgan, we have more than enough legal resources to take down the most powerful insurance companies in the country. Whether it's a case of group or individual long-term disability insurance, our attorneys can help turn that denial into an approval.
Veterans Disability Denial
If the Department of Veterans Affairs has denied your disability claim, don't panic. It's not unusual for initial claims to be denied, and that's why there's an appeal process in place.
The VA denies around 30% of disability claims every year, according to the VA’s own statistics. This can be frustrating, especially if you did everything they required of you. Here's a look at some of the most common reasons for disability denial by the VA.
- Missed deadlines
- Lack of enough evidence to support your disability claim
- Lack of a specific diagnosis to support your disability claim
- You failed to show up for your Compensation and Pension (C&P) exam
- Filing out the wrong forms
- Ineligible disability
Social Security Disability Benefits Denial
According to the Social Security Administration, the rate of denied disability claims is approximately 53% in 2022. This simply means that you have a higher chance of being denied social security disability benefits than approved.
The unfortunate truth is that many people end up abandoning their claims due to frustration. If you've been contemplating abandoning your claim, we may be able to fight for you.
